THE LAKE OF KILLARNEY.
Its Legends Contrasted with Some
of Its Present Visitors.

From the London Telegraph.
The lake itself differs from the great
continental waters in many qualities.
Tones of pure cobalt take the place of the
striking yellow and strong high lights OF
foreign lands. There is no sparkle in the
sunshine; the slow calm movement of the
light travels over the vast and pIumy
mountains as il the side of lantern were

now the thick, rounded growth OF trees,

ney. 1t is said that, once in seven years,
in the dew Of a May morning, the great
ODOnoghue rises from his lair under the
depths, and, drawn by milk white cour-
sers, drives over those shining CULTS to a
cave, where old men become young again
if they duly light upon the spot. Once
upon a time, too, all tue lake was green
valley watered by fairy we'll. The well
was closed By large gray stone, and the
condition by which 1t was held deer, ed
that no One-maid, wife or wdOw--should
leave the spring unsealed at sunset. A
girl, due at the trysting place, forgot 10
close the we'll; and as The sun set the
water rose, and welled forth 80 abundauc-

but ali the township, were DESTROYED and
melted away under the fairy tempest.
But, ut evening, once every seven years
or 50, pinnacle and battlement rise from
the waves; for one briet minute the lover
clasps his sweetheart to his breast, the

SECRETS OF PALMISTRY.
\ Very Little Fact and Il Big Heap
Cf Fiction.

From the Baltimore Be. dld.
There is nothing new under the sun.
Palmistry, or "chirosopby," as the cul-
is fashionable craze just now, but
it ist ured have elected to call it,
literally as old as the hills and belongs to
the domain of Oriental myths and super
stitions as clearly as necrOmancy, geo.
NANCY, astrology aud other delusions OF
frauds, which the progress of science has
happily swept into oblivion.
Plato, Aristotle, Galen, Ptolemy, Auth
ocbus and many Other ancient writers OF
note have lett monographs on the subject
of palmistry; but it is proper to remark
that many OF their observations are not
only interesting but ingenious and ration
al, relating rather TO the shape and
size of the hand as an index of character,
than to the silly pretense that the future
can be foretold by the lines of the hand.
Inasmuch as many readers
may be interested to know waat
is true and what Is false in the soc allied
science of chirosophy, and what are the
| methods by which the PIANIST or fortune
| teller proceeds, the subioned sketch has
been prepared to illustrate the suDjeci
in a practical way.
LIKE A CAPITAL "M."
Let the reader glance at his own palm,
preferably that of the left hand. On
slightly bending the hand, as if about
| TO grasp a ball, four prominent lines
will be noticed. One of these commences
between the thumb and the bottom of tie
index finger, sweeping downward in a
curve to the bottom of the thumb. The
second line rises from the same point as
the first, crosses the centre Of the palm
nearly horizontally, and terminates
about two inches below the base Of the
little finger. The third line begins be.
tween the first and second fingers,
and runs nearly parallel to the
last line, terminating at a point
about an inch below the little finger. The
fourth line begins almost imperceptibly
below the middle finger, crosses the sec
Ond and third lines nearly alright angles,
and runs to the bottom of the hand. The
tour lines make fair representation OF a
capital IN" or Nv" turned upside
down,

CAUSE OF THELINES.

CAUSE OF THE LINES.
1t will be obvious on inspection that
these four lines, which are marked with
more or less clearness on every hand.
are caused by the flesh and the muscles
accommodating themselves to the move
ments of the joints when the hand is open
and closed. There will be minute dif-
terences in the length and continuity Of
these lines, but their general shape and
direction will be the same. Clearly then,
as characters and fortunes differ 50
widely. these four lines should possess as
diverse appearances in the case of sage
and fool, a prince and a beggar as it is
possible to conceive. But such is not
the case. The writer, who studied pal
mstry in the good old days, and took no.
tice of the hands OF persons Of all sorts
and conditions, recalls the most absurd
contradictions of the rules Of the ar. In
one case, where girl died at the age OF
II years, the line OF life was without a
break from beginning 20 end, predicatine
an existence of 10 years at least. In
another case a man of 40 was found to
possess a break in the line of life, which
should have produced his death at the
age Of 10 or II years. Children in idiot
asylums were found to have the line OF
the head, or intellectual line, strongly
marked and clear; persons Of strong in
tellect were found with the line weak and
broken. So with the line OF the heart;
persons who should have been ardent
lovers were found to be cold book worms,
and maidens for whom the lines predicted
early marriage and several husbands
were found at 40 signing in single blessed
ness.
In one word, palmistry is transparent
and glorious nonsense. Neither the fOuI
great lines of the hand. already described
nor the smaller lines crossing the larger
ones and intersecting each other on the
softs parts OF the fingers and the mounts
below the fingers have any other sgnifica
ton than the accommodation of semi.

dered into Egypt, and thence spread th cir
ancient and Oriental lore throu ghout
Europe. The Gypsy felt thathis hand
must be against every mans, seeing that
every mans was against hia. SO he took
quite naturally To tnIeying and palmistry.
The connection of the signs Of the latter
with, those of astr1logy clearly demon
sirates that the wanderers mad stolen
the art from the wise men Of Chaldea and
BabylOnia, even If the connection OF the
Rommanv and Sanscrit tongues were not
already in evidence.
THE SHAPE OF TIE HAND.
Very different from the false doctrine
! and spurious lore OF the pianist is the
artistic and intellectual study of the
shape and features of The nand. There
is as much character in some hands as in
the face itself. Colerid "e, when introduced
to John Keats, SAID prophetically:
There is death in that hand" Medical
men gain quick and rarely-errIng in
stinctiVe appreciation OF the condition OF
patient from the "feel' of the hand,
which is with them far more than an Or
binary greeting or courtesy. The
| etching" palm of the political spokesman
| is writ in history and the drama. The
moist warm PALM aud the "cold,
tremulous, tlabby hand tell their inIal-
| lible tales.
Many men OF many minds; many hands
OF many shapes. Swarrow, Calico, So
| crates, Newton, LeIbnitz, st. simon
| Fourier, Owen-all men Of power-had
very small thumbs, but Noltaire's thumb s,
| We're of enormous siz4. Homer had a
small thumb; SO mad Albert Durer,

Louis XVI. and the Emperor Paul of Rus
STA mad very large bands Frederick the
Great of Prussia had long hand.
THREE TYPES OF HANDS
| Usually there are three distincg types
| of hands, according to whether the fingers
are CONCEAL and tapering, square. or
"spStulated" after the shape of a drug
| gist's spatula. The cOnical and tapering
! hand may 90 with greatintellectual pow
| er, and especially with taste for the
| tine arts, but rarely with a strong will
or robust physical ORGANIZATION 1t is
usually the hand of the literateur, the
| poet and the artist. Ire square hand is
the hand of power. it was emlnently the
| hand of A braham Lincoln, whose finger
| tips looked as if they had been finished
| with "Set square" 1t was also the
hand of Naubau, CaTn0t and AraYo. The
| spatUlated hand is the hand of strong
Will and intellect, running perhaps into
| eccentricity or perversity 1t is the hand
OF bold ARTISTS of Salvador Rosa type, and
of advanced thinkers and social re-
| formers.
FINE ITALIAN HAND.
To which of these classes the hands
belong will be for the reader to determine.
By tracing the outline of the hand on "a
sheet Of paper with a pencil carried care
fully around and between the fingers the
reader will experience revelations
There will be very few taper fingers, but
many knobs and spatuiatlons, really
perfect hand being as rare as the face of
the Venus of Milo, and when found indi-
eating little mentality. ZADKIEL

Relying on Her Teeth.

The attraction that lies In beauti-
full woman's open mouth hasn't been
sung by the poets great deal, but 1t is
a momentouS fact Just the Same.
There Is a lovely girl. whose home is
at one Of our watering places. who al
most always goes about with her
mouth in which there are two exqui-
site rows of pearly teeth, open, and
who, oddly enough, generally has an
admlring circle of men and youths
about her. Her elder sister, who
doesn't hold her mouth open, told the
other day how the thing goes:
AT the party last night" said she,
bessie was sitting with her mouth
closed, for a wonder, and there
wasn't anybody with her-for a Won
der, too. Presently she opened her
mouth little, and young man left
me and went over to her. Then she
opened her mouth little wider, and
another young man went over where
she WAS. BY and by she opened her
mouth a little more, so that both rows
of her teeth showed, and she kept
laughing about something, and the
men kept gathering around her. Dear
mel 1 thought her jaws would break,
but its's perfectly natural for her to
keep her mouth open that way. And
the young men fairly swarmed around
her all the eveningp'

who must have had prodigious means
of execution at his disposal: This tenn
pie resembles no other; neither affairs,
nor perfume banners, nor sacred inclO-
sures; ten stages of terraces, each 200
or 3U0 feet long--sOmething like an
enormous series of circus seatS-upon
which legion of gods from all imagi-
nary sanctuarIes. from every empyrean,
should have come to take their places
to watch some apocalyptic perform
ances, some crumbling down of worlds.
In the midst, in the place of honor
upon the open flower or a golden lotus,
vast as the base of a tower-sits
throned a colossal buddah of gold, be-
fore a golden nimbus deployed behind
him like the outspread taIl of mon
strous peacock. He is surrounded.
guarded, by a score of nightmare shapes
something In likeness of the human
form. exaggeratedly huge, and seeming
TO resemble at once both demons and
corpSes. When one enters through the
Tag, he Tecoils at the sight OF these
shapes of an evil dream, almost close
to him. They occupy all the lower
ranges; they descend, threateningly,
even below them.
They wave their hands on high, they
make gestures of fury with hands
clenched, they gnash their teeth-open
mouths without lips-roll great eyes
without eyelids-with an expression
intense and horrible. Their veins and
their nerves, laid bare, run winding
over their limbs, which have all been
designed with startling anatomical ex-
actitude.
They have been painted In bloody
red, in cadaveric blue, in greenish tints
like living bodies tlayed, or like
corpses, with all the hues of quick
flesh or of rottenness. About the year
1000 OF our era, while we were yet at
that artistic stage represented by the
native saints Of the Roman churches,
Japan had already had artists capable
of concerning and executing these
/ learned refinements of hideousness.
On either side of the great central

arms. From all the lofty head-dresses,
rlnged about with aureoles, fash the
same rays OF gold; the same rays Of
gold are close bound about every waist

Each of them softly smiles the same
mysterious smile and holds six or eight
of his hands joined in the calm attitude
